from the operate stage, owing to the al
mast total loss of her voice, is said to be
temper. A lady who is personally very
well acquainted with the Hungarian
singer has related some wonderful epi7
sodes in which the passionate display of
GerSter'S temper seems to have been so
remarkable as to barely merit credence
no person in the world is bound to guard
and protect anything as carefully as a
singer does his, or her, voice, and emo
tions in excess of any kind whatever are
strictly tabOOed by vocal instructors and
impreSarioS. Nine. Gerster, it seems,
though, has all her life given way to
frightful Outbursts of anger, and the
frequency of them, it is said, has at last
been the prime cause of running voice
that was once vOluminous, clear, true
and birdlike, and of exceptional bril-
liancy and power. There seems every
reason why Gerster should not have had
to contend with such q serious miSfor-
tune, as she was born and brought
up in the midst of refinement,
her parents having social position
of excellent standing in the town in
which they lived in Upper Hungary.
When quite young girl she is said to
have been DESTROYS of obtaining a posi-
ton in the operate armament similar
to that occupied by her more gifted sis
ter prima donna, Adelina Patti, whose
Christian name Etelka is the Hungarian
form. Her ambition in this direction
piloted her so safely that she was less
than twenty-five when in the very
height of her success, although she is
now but little more than thirty, it is
highly improbable that her voice will
ever be heard again in public. Her hus-
band, DR.. Gardini, was the impresariO
at Berlin for a number of years. and
met GerSter year or two after she
made her debut, which was in Venice
n 1885, during her first appearance at
the German capital, where, by the way,
her success was so great that the Prus-
sian critics emphadcallv declared that
she was the only rival they could COM
pare with Sontag, and that never since
the latter songstreSf had been heard in
Berlin had there been SO great marvel.
Nine. GerSter has several children.
The oldest, girl, is called Linda, for
one of her mothers favorite roles. The
happy home, a pretty villa in the APP
pennies, near Bologna, to which many
of GerstersS American friends have
found their way within the past few
years, will no longer know its mistress
who presided so deftly over a well-ap-
pointed household. The Villa Mezzana,
as it is called, has been closed. and the
several farms lying on the plateau of
the mountain that are included in the
estate have been let to various small
farmers. Mime. Gerster and her chill
dren are at present in Paris, where they
are living in apartments, and, if present
rumors are true and the probability of
her ever returning to the stage is as
vague as stated, time will soon efface
the pleasant memory Americans have
of Etelka Gerster

and Her Voice Said to be Gone.
Boston Herald London Letter.
A sad story comes to me about the I'M
fortunate termination of Etelka Gers
ter's domestic relations with her hus-
band, DIR. Gardini. The latter has at
last forsaken his wife and children. and.
unhappily, no blame is attached to him
for such a proceeding. He has been
driven to take the step, owing to the ac-
tual impOssibility of enduring existence
any longer with one of the most charm
ing singers / ever listened to. The sep
aration really occurred some months
ago, but the friends of both have en-
deavOred to repair the breach between
them, and, until within a very short
time, there were fond hopes entertained
of the arrangement being ended. Such
hope, however, no longer exists, and
their separation is matter for consid-
cradle cOmmiseration.
l first knew Gerster in the winter of
rs and '79, when she created such
Juror in New York as the prima donna
of Mapleson's company at the Academy
of Music. She was the new operate
star that is every now and then being
discovered by the energetic colonel, and
she took New York opera goers by
storm. Gerster was never pretty
woman, owing to heavinesss of fea-
ture and an unattractive presence that
were particularly noticeable away from
the glare of the footlights, but she came
very near being called beautiful at
times, particularly in handsome cos
tune of black. lighted with diamond
stars, that she wore in the 'Magic
Flute" In ''Sonnambula," an opera in
which she also achieved remarkable
success, and in which she made her
New York debut, she looked like an
awkward Dutch peasant girl, and about
as plain as any prima donna eyer saw.
She was great favorite, though, with
her audiences, and with women particu-
larly, who crowded the matinees to hear
the Hungarian singer with almost as
much faithful devotion as they are went
| to do when Patti appears.

your presence here and for your kind
words of encouragement, which have
filled our hearts with love for our coun-
try. We look upon your presence here
in the light of an inspiration from God"
Mr.. Grygla then turning to the con-
vention addressed it in the Polish Ian
tered by Bishop Ireland. The national
hymn, "God Save Unhappy Poland"
was then rendered with great spirit
Three cheers were then proposed for
the bishop and given with will. AS

At 2 o'clock the delegates convened

meeting were read. A committee of
three, WOjcik. Wisconsin, Joseph 10

sylvania, were appointed. to look after
the purchase of lands in Dakota for col
oniZation purposes.
A report was read relative to the dis
position Of certain musical instruments
now in the possession of a society at
NanticOke, Pa. A committee of three,
Father Males, chairman, was appointed
to draw up suitable resolutions, thank
ing Bishop Ireland for his address to the
alliance. Congratulatory kilograms
were then read from societies i'm Chi
cago. Father Males then begun the
reading of the constitution. Article
was so amended that all religions are
hereafter
TOLERATED IN THE ALLIANCE.
Paragraph 3, Article 4, was amend
ed SO as to read: mo member of the
alliance can belong to any anarchial, so
cialiStic, nihilistic, or other society for
hidden by the Catholic church." A tele-
| gram of congratulatiOn was then read
| from the Polish ladies of Chicago,
which was received with applause.
1t was voted that the holding of the
next convention be held two years
hence instead of one, and six months

cles meeting with but slight change.

An Extensive Kobberx Conspiracy.


John C. Clarl., OF Kansas City, recently
sigDed q Nrtten confession in the pres
ence of Detect YES f, ank Tutt and Greely,
setting forth tbs details of ons of the most
extensive conspiiacies for robbery ever
formed in that city. Detective Tut says
Clark implicated fo,lr others, one of whom
was Joseph Nashburne, whom he charged
with comp,ic;ty in the stealing of
twenty -eight bags of -four, and for
which he was found guilty and placed
under $1,000 bonds. The plan
of the robbery was as follows: Wash
burne, who keeps feed and grain store,
was the fence. The other three would
ascertain the consignees of the cars of
freight, visit them and order load of the
coal, corn or whatever the car contained.
The rest of the conspirators would then
convey the entire contents of the car to
Washburne's place. The suspicious of the
yardmen were layed by the order for
the first load. Clark says that the robbery
has been going on for long time, and
thousands>of dollars worth of coal, grain,
ETC., have been stolen and carried to
Washburne's place aud sold out at whole
sale.
